From the Dallas Observer, 

Street Beat

By Clay McNear

May 11, 1989

​

Cast of characters: Dallas poet/author/vocalist Roxy Gordon lives on Oram Street off Lowest Greenville, something of an artistic compound because of its reasonable rents and Deep East Dallas ambiance.  So it’s kind of crazy, though not so surprising, that the new album by this self-described half-Choctaw Indian/half-Texan is available only as an import via London’s Sunstorm Records (available in the States thanks to distribution by indie label Heartland).  Titled Crazy Horse Never Died, the disc features Gordon on spoken/sung vocals, Brad Bradley on keyboard and guitar, and Frank X. Tolbert II on washtub bass.  Gordon’s lyrics bespeak his passion for issues affecting (usually adversely) the American Indian and, as one London magazine put it, Gordon “forces America to confront its history of genocide.”  Neither mindless listening nor easy, and certainly not for every taste, but the atmospheric LP has some definitely indescribable moments.  It’s currently available at Paperbacks Plus on Gaston.
